Goldman secured will allow Grand Street to pilot the Justice Mentoring Initiative, a program that will engage a cohort of high school-aged youth in a nine-month long program at Grand Street’s Best Buy Teen Tech Center in order to deter them from becoming involved in crime. Participants will plan community-wide events for their peers, engage in one-on-one mentorship, and learn skills in coding, Photoshop, and music production.
